    At night, headlights and all other light seen through the windshield are distorted. There is a ghost image/shadow of the light above and below the source (tripling effect). It is more visible on cars with LED lights and police lights, the police lights u can clearly see three separate lights above the main lights with brakes in between them
    The dealer sees the effect but says this is on all Toyota's and has pointed me to Toyota. I've approached Toyota who summarily dismissed me without even an inspection. I want to take this through lemon law. The issue is straining my eyes at night. Anyone else sees this? Anyone have any experience with this?​

    most have not seen it, but there are more than a few threads on it. i don't think there has been a solution though.
